One-third of the members of the State Legislature Council retire every ________ years.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. two .
One-third of the members of the State Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad) retire every two years. This system ensures continuity in the functioning of the Council, as it is a permanent body and is never dissolved, unlike the Legislative Assembly. The retirement of members every two years is similar to the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Parliament) at the central level. Elections are held regularly to fill the vacancies created by these retirements, maintaining a steady flow of new members while preserving institutional knowledge and experience among continuing members. This structure promotes legislative stability and continuity.
